I've had to deal with bone-headed obscure bugs in the Linux kernel... Strange feature regressions, kernel-bundled drivers that used to work but have mysteriously become broken over a year ago and were never fixed because nobody gives a damn about making older hardware work. Seems unfair to treat someone like shit for a crime Linus must have been guilty of himself at some point. Unless he somehow thinks that Linux is so perfectly tested that no kernel ever gets released with really annoying bug that crash production systems. As far as I can see, the GCC people are fairly responsive, they're going to fix that bug, and that's probably the best one can hope for.
